Oil and gas services firm Tendeka has appointed former OMV UK head of oil recovery Peter Soroka as its new advanced completions commercialisation manager.

Soroka brings more than 35 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry to the role, having previously worked with Statoil, Total and Schlumberger on a range of oil and gas projects worldwide.

His work in the industry has included incorporating subsea reservoirs and wells and greenfield, brownfield and satellite projects in locations including West of Shetland, Ireland, Angola, Russia, Europe and the Middle East.

Soroka will join Aberdeen headquartered Tendeka’s newly formed enhanced production and client services group, set up to offer “cost-effective solutions to enhance oil and gas recovery”.

Soroka will also be responsible for expanding Tendeka’s client base in what is a UK-based role.

Tendeka chief executive Gary Smart said: “We created the enhanced production and client services group because we recognise future opportunities rely more on cost-effective technologies with long term benefits to compete in the current market.

“This strategy necessitates interaction with a varied group of technical disciplines covering the reservoir and well construction.

“Peter’s record in delivering technical excellence in a range of sectors made him the ideal candidate to lead this group.
